“This is such an exciting event and a great way for families and individuals to get involved, help all those people in the community who really are facing serious challenges,” URS Executive Director Dennis Grant said at the July 27 kick-off.

“$5 to get one duck in the race or the famous quack pack is six ducks for $25, but all that money goes directly to services,” Grant said. “All of our sponsors pay for the expense of the event and our overhead has been under 10 percent for the last seven years so you know more than $9 out of every $10 we raise is going straight to the people we serve.”

Ducks can be purchased at RiverScape the day of the event if they have not sold out. For more information, visit any area Kroger or visit daytonducks.com.
